ABOUT THE HIKE ITSELF:

It's easy to moderate hike, a point to point trip which should take around 5 hours.

Meeting place&time: Zurich HB, at 07:20 in front of Platform 9, where there is a train bound for Lugano, departing at 07:33.

We'll get off at Arth-Goldau at 08:16, and start our hike there, going through the town towards Spitzbüel, and upon the ridge towards Gnipen (1566m).
We will continue walking on the ridge towards Wildspitz and have a break there (http://www.wildspitz.ch/oeffnungszeiten/).
From there, directly to Halsegg and then downwards to Sattel using the road.
From there, we will catch a train back home, either at 15:05 or 16:05 S31, and be at HB 16:17 (17:17) - depending on the breaks we make.
We will not take the train back To Goldau, to avoid the full train arriving from Ticino to HB- for obvious safety reasons.

Staying at low altitude should ensure that we don't have snow. However, at this time of year, it's important to take the proper hiking boots and walking poles. You should also take reasonably warm clothes, enough water&food for 5 hours trip. Please show up reasonably fit, this is required.

DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for anyone's health&safety- your safety is your responsibility. I have already done this trip, but I'm not a mountain guide or anything like that.
